Pat-a-cake, pat-a-cake,
Baker's man,
Bake me a cake
As fast as you can;
Prick it and pat it,
And mark it with B,
And put it in the oven
For Baby and me.

I was told the story that someone from a Manhattan business was out in San Francisco visiting a satellite site, and remarked on how well dressed all the hookers were. Turns out it was downtown office workers he was observing, smoking outside because indoor smoking was banned.

That's pretty awesome. In my case, the hooker looker actually dresses like I would imagine an early 90's hooker dressed.

And today the world is quiet because everyone is weeping at their desks after looking at their paychecks and seeing the huge decrease in takehome pay due to the jump in Social Security taxes being taken out.

To tie the two themes of the thread so far together: "Before or after payroll taxes?" :P

And everybody weeping over that have a short term memory. How soon we forget that the SS level is now back to where it was two years ago.

I only wish my paycheck was big enough that 2% amounted to a huge decrease.

I'm exhausted! We had a house full of dinner guests on Sunday--just family, but we were 9 in all. We had our final, hopefully, final, fundraiser pickup today. Pickup was from 3 - 6. For the first time ever, we had everything picked up by 5:55! We're really happy about that since this was frozen foods! Although, it is now 28 degrees outside. We could have stored the items that were not picked up in our trunks overnight.

4th night of weening our 5 month old boy off of night feedings.
1st night was miserable
2nd night we all slept like we were dead
3rd night we all slept well. Baby woke up at 4 and required some convincing that it wasn't time for breakfast.
4th evening so far, he is super grumpy and is waking up every 1/2 hour.

Want to provide tasting notes to the W.W. community? PM me for more info.

I am trying to remember what mine did at 5 months... I'm pretty sure we had a 3/4 am feeding.... maybe more during growing spurts!!

Em woke up every hour last night from teething. We haven't worked on the "you don't need to eat every 4 hours" deal yet. When does it get better?!?!
